Reviews

This series deserves great success in schools because it presents far more than good acting opportunities. The plays open up new fields of knowledge and experience, as the best fiction and drama should.

We are currently doing this in our English class and it is amazing! I had read some of Terry Pratchett's books before but never the Johnny Maxwell one's. Reading it as a play is just as exciting as the book. It contains most of the original humour and text. All of our class really enjoy it!

5 star Amazon review

An excellent, breezy, entertaining play with lots of potential for theatrical business and opportunities for the involvement of all of your pupils/drama group. I would gladly do it again.

This is a great way of drawing younger teenagers into the classics and is very easy to stage

5 star Amazon review

The kids can really have a lot of fun with the quirky style and the character of the Pardoner always gets an enthusiastic response. The Canterbury Tales are wonderful stories which deserve retelling, and this book is a great introduction to the work. It is an ideal way to introduce Chaucer to teens who might be intimidated by jumping straight into the middle English of the original.

Lively, upbeat, great fun: lots of staging and props ideas for the novice director, those with more experience will enjoy being more experimental. Props plot can be quite complicated. Great for Yr 9s
